Additional Details

with--Typed Letter Signed by Leicester to long time family friend Bill Horne, concerning a boat trip to Jamaica, his own successful biography of Hemingway, and mentioning (then mostly unknown) Hemingway scholar Carlos Baker: "This character [Baker] hasn't written any more books about Hemingway than anybody else . . . and then has the gall to write me suggesting I turn over all my resource material to him so he can do a Good Job . . ."
